Hi, everybody, I am new to this site, and am new to owning and restoring this old of a truck.
I just this week bought a 1969 F100 lwb, originally a 300 6 cyl, now a 390, with auto trans. While the truck is in pretty decent shape, it does need some tlc. The motor is not currently running, but I am pretty sure it will, just need to get everything working again.
It apparently was parked running, and the older lady who owned it and another, moved to a retirement home, but that was maybe as much as 10 years ago.
Hopefully ya'll can help me with some of the problems I am sure to run into, and I will try to do the same!

Thanks again! I picked up a poly battery tray today, mine has the corner missing.
BTW, are those radius arm bushing I see under the truck? Seems like I cant escape those things, I have em on my Xplorer, but I replaced all of its bushings with a Hyperflex poly kit. If so, are poly bushings available?
